About this project: The following are arrests and citations involving NFL players since 2000 that were more serious than speeding tickets. The San Diego Union-Tribune reviewed hundreds of news reports and public records in compiling it. The list cannot be considered comprehensive in part because some incidents may not have been reported and some public records proved to be elusive. Increased media coverage of incidents also probably accounts for more incidents listed in recent years. Attorneys for Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones used the Union-Tribune list in their attempt to have Jones' season-long suspension reduced in May 2007.
